Just a quick post to share a handful of my favorite photos from this weekend. We had a wonderful time and when asked, Caleb continually cites “hiking” as his favorite part of the trip (which, of course, makes me incredibly happy). He did an excellent job staying on his feet despite the slippery trails, had a great attitude, and endured my every five minute check-in asking whether his fingers, toes or body were cold. The weather was fantastic — we had a few snow showers and the temperature was perfect (in my opinion) for winter hiking. Just cold enough to keep the trails more sparsely populated (mid 20’s), but warm enough that you could hike in a base layer and shell (popping your gloves and hat on and off to maintain your temperature, of course) if you heat up like me when hiking at a fast pace.

Here are a few quick teaser photos (a full post will come in the next few days):
